Vinny joins Anderlecht as player/manager (Simon Davies follows him)

[93.20]

Really sad news but there's no better example in world sport of someone quitting at the top. Even Usain Bolt waited one race too long.

 

[Cobra]

I’m genuinely surprised he’s gone into management so early.

Obviously he’ll never be as good at it as the Norwegian Paper-Boy but hey, he can but try!

Perfect move. All the best Vinnie. Thanks man.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Knock it out of the park in your new role Vinny. Thanks for everything, true legend.

 

[Manc in London]

Been an emotional 24 hours. Bloody hell.

 

[goatersnipple]

Best of luck vinny.
Hopefully be our manager oneday

 

[Paul1970]

What an intro.

Brilliant just brilliant

 

[KoreanHammer]

I thought he was leaving to keep playing.

Huh. Interesting. Good luck to him, I always liked him.

 

[Henkeman]

"This is no goodbye, it's a see you later"

Yes Vinny, yes it is.

What a perfect decision from him.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Just watched this unfold on Sky sports breaking news. Whilst it came as a bit of a shock, I'm totally behind him in his decision. He's given a million % to our club and has dragged us to the top of the tree. Vincent Kompany, City will always love you more than you will know. Good luck skipper.
